William E. Peterman studies the ecology, conservation, and population genetics of amphibians, especially salamanders and frogs, focusing on how landscape features like forest cover and habitat connectivity affect where these species live and how their populations are genetically structured. His work also involves developing quantitative tools and software for modeling species distributions, habitat resistance, and multiscale landscape effects. Students in this area would likely engage with fieldwork on amphibian populations combined with statistical and computational modeling.
